Future GOAT Rafael Nadal to win atleast 2 Calender Slams

You heard it here first. The future GOAT Rafael Nadal will win atleast 2 Calender Slams. One will be this year in 2009. The other will be 2012 where he will complete the Golden Slam, a feat only ever matched by the greatest female player ever- Steffi Graf.

only u can start such topic
would be fun to see rafa winning roland garros and wimby and then losing uso finals to murray or djoko

What if he doubled up and won 8 straight over two years? What would they call it? I think it's possible.

It would be the double Grand Slam. Or maybe the Rafa Slam. The Serena slam of a non calender slam vs Rafa's back-to-back Calender Slams would now look so unimpressive by comparision they would need to rename it the "Fatso Slam".

I don't think you can hit a double grand slam in baseball though. There is no such thing.

Yeah Rafa has a good chance of doing it, but then again... so did Roger, right?

Nadal's attempt at a Grand Slam will probably be more dramatic than Fed's, as we always knew by the end of May that Fed's not going to make the Grand Slam, but if Nadal defends his FO and Wimby titles it'll build up to the USO so it'll be more dramatic.

Could be really good for tennis, too... bring some of that big crowd back in, to witness a Grand Slam on TV at the US Open.

I don't know about GSs, but Graf is not the greatest female player ever. Not even close.

I am undecided on my own female GOAT. I voted for Court I think in the Former Pro Section but that was mostly since I think she is so underrated in North America compared to Navratilova, Evert, and Graf. I dont know if she really is my first choice if I examined it more or not.

Let's start first by making the final of the US Open, then we can see.

Let's start by winning the French. That is the next step to him winning a Grand Slam. Here comes my traditional May 14th contradictory statement: Nadal winning the 2009 French is a given, but it's not a given.

You're right, of course. Neither the French nor Wimbledon are given. Especially not Wimbledon.

Nadal is in extraordinary form right now, but we should remember that he is human, not machine. I don't think he can win 2 calendar slams but 16 slam is possible. there's no guarranty that he'll win the US Open this year, even the Wimbledon. Every game start with 0-0. If he's not at his best, he could lose to anyone in the top 4.

So you think that Rafa will win all four slams in one year? I think that's doable. doing it twice?-I'll believe it when I see it.

He squeaked by?? He almost beat Fed in straights. Fed had better hope for another 1 hour + rain delay this year (if he even makes the final of course...), otherwise it's gonna be brutal.

you don't think fed will make the wimbledon final this year or atleast have a good chance? Who else besides nadal can beat fed on grass? He made it to the final last year without dropping a set. I think he has a good chance to make the final this year. lmao@ the brutal comment. Don't worry, there will be a roof this year.
